If Miss Maggie Mitchell was to wear the
badges of all the carnival clubs that have
elected her to honorary membership, she
would need little else in the shape of cloth
ing to protect her from the seyerest billiards
that blow down over ST. Paul from Mani
toba and the northern counties of Dakota.
And if all the banquets and floral
tributes" that have passed hands between
herself and the officers of the clubs were
gathered together. there would be enough
to lit up a green house. From peruSal of
the various notes to the effect that Miss
Mitchell presented beautiful bouquet to
the X. Y. Z. Toboggan club, which wit
messed her acting at the Grand last night"
it would seem that the fayorite and the
| carnival clubs had organized mutual adj
| miration society. and were working it for
all there was in sight 1t is certainly
| good thing for the clubs, and Miss Mitchell
| will have many pleasant memories of the
second ST. Paul winter carnival. of which
she might almost be called prominent
feature"
The Ice King lost his crown last week.
1t is generally supposed that it is concealed
about the person of the Fire King, who
stormed and took the palace on Thursday
night. This is mistake. The crown was
lost while the king was taking a tob0ggan
ride at the Crocus hill slide. The GLOBE
artist happened to be present and saw him
lose it. A liberal award will be paid to tie
finder.

II is suggested by soma relic hunting
crank that if the visitors from far off states
cannot chip off pieces of the ice palace to
carry away as souvenirs. they can take
small chunks of the ice, melt it and put it
in neat little bottles TO carry to distant
climes. with which 10 call up memories of
the second winter carnival and the glowing
! ice palace, when summer suns are hot and
| sultry Zepbyrs make life burden during
dog days.

Among other awkward features of the
tcarnival have been the snow shoe races on
he grounds. 1t was imp0ss bic to aScer-
| tain who had charge of them. the carnival
officers saying they did not know. until the
Fl rSt race took place under charge of DR..
B urdette. Two or three times these races
came off as announced in the official pro-
gramme. On Friday of last week there
were impromptu races, none being an
nounced i'll the programme. Saturday the
some snow shoe races. beginning at 2
o'clock. At $3.50 several snow shoers were
on hand to enter the races, but none of the
| gentlemen previously acting as judges were
TO be seen. Therefore they concluded to
have the races anyway. which they did. a
member of the ST. Georges club volunteer
ing I act as starter. In half the races dur
ing the carnival no time has been taken,
and in others it has been carelessly done. so
that the record is good for nothing. Such
management is detrimental to the success
OF amateur sports.

The Ice King sat on his icy throne
And thought Of Helen Busters.
HIS breath like steam in the cold air shone,
And the wind blew through his whiskers.

Not only residents of the city, but
the strangers coming to see the carnival,
have found it very difficult to ascertain
what would occur on any particular day.
The publication of an official programme
in each issue of the papers was taken TO be
an announcement of what was to occur,
) but people soon found that this was not the
case. as it was very difficult to ascertain
what would actually occur. People have
remarked that this was not the case last
year, but have not been aware of the rea-
son for the difference. Last year the news
{ paper reporters regularly put in their time
between II and o'clock each morning in
hunting up, waking up and interviewing
the several managers and other officers OF
the carnival to ascertain what would actu-
, ally take place on the next day. which was
announced. In this way when any feature
OF the official programme had been aban-
: doned or postponed the fact became known.
l This year the reporters were relieved OF
this laborious and dsagreeable job. and
waited for the management to make theil
announcements. Consequently the an.
nOuncementS were not made.
